27. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he has had any recent discussion with his Northern Ireland Executive Minister counterpart regarding the national primary route N16 which forms part of the east-west corridor linking Northern Ireland with the Republic and more specifically linking Sligo and Leitrim and much of Connacht with Belfast, Larne and Dundalk on the east coast; if he acknowledges that this route was designated by the EU as one of the east-west links forming part of the trans-European road network, recognising its strategic importance in linking the peripheral north west with Belfast and the north-eastern ports and that it is the main access route for commercial traffic, tourists and social travel from the north-east to the west and vice versa; and if he will give assurances that some priority for funding under a cross-Border initiative will be forthcoming.
